This article clears up one important point: Paul Weiss' partners were in on this deal. I had thought (hoped) that this was an example of a misguided leader. Instead, Paul Weiss rank and file partners approved this course. They all bear the shame and responsibility. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Why Law Firm Paul Weiss Pleaded Its Case With Trump, and Not With a Court

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not.

So, I won’t.

So we’ve established vaccines are beneficial, now we’re just haggling about how often.
RFK Jr finally recommends vaccination to deal with the measles outbreak hitting Texas right now.

This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.

Wall Street expects to sell more than $335 billion in asset-backed debt this year. Remember that conference in ‘The Big Short’? It just drew a record 10,000.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

I’ve put together a page on my website for federal employees impacted by Trump's mass purges of our federal workforce.

It’s my hope that these resources will address questions and concerns, and provide you with as much information as possible:

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.
